Care
To maintain the high quality appearance of decorative finish switches and
sockets, BO Electrical recommend the use of a soft cloth periodically to clean
the front face. When installing a decorative product please ensure that the
wall is decorated, finished and free of moisture prior to installation.
BG Electrical recommends avoiding using, but not restricted to, these
substances from becoming in contact with the decorative metal front-plates
when cleaning or decorating:
- Adhesive tape, including low tack masking tape
- Solvents
- White spirit
- Multi surface cleaners
- Industrial multipurpose cleaning wipes
- Wet wipes
Using items like those listed above may cause a degrading effect to the front- plates lacquer/plated finish, although the function will remain unaffected.
